The Complex Relationship between Jews and African Americans in the Context of the Civil Rights Movement Abstract The Civil Rights Movement occurred throughout a substantial portion of the twentieth century, dedicated to fighting for equal rights for African Americans through various forms of activism. The movement had a profound impact on a number of different communities in the United States and around the world as demonstrated by the continued international attention marked by recent iterations of the Black Lives Matter and ‘Never Again’ movements. One community that had a complex reaction to the movement, played a major role within it, and was impacted by it was the American Jewish community. The African American community and the Jewish community were bonded by a similar exclusion from mainstream American society and a historic empathetic connection that would carry on into the mid-20th century; however, beginning in the late 1960s, the partnership between the groups eventually faced challenges and began to dissolve, only to resurface again in the twenty-first century.

    https://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection SUMMARY: Ben Bagdikian, a well-known journalist who in the 1960s “spent a lot of time in the Deep South” reporting stories on the civil rights movement, talks about his experiences there with two German Jewish refugees who were among the 50 or so teaching at black colleges after the war. Recalling discussions with Ernst Borinski (1901-1983), a sociology professor at Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi, Bagdikian describes him as bringing both intellectual discipline and personal experience to black students in the segregated South: “No question he saw what the basic issues were in integration but he also had a sensitive human perception of all things,” and did not demonize those who confronted civil rights activists but saw the possibility for positive changes in behavior and opinion. Brown University later adopted Tougaloo as a sister institution, and recognized Borinski as “a great asset” to the college, Bagdikian said. He also tells a story about another German Jewish refugee professor at Talladega, a black college in Alabama. After a high school student named Brenda was arrested and put in prison, the professor “found a sympathetic official,” told him his own experience under the Nazis, and secured Brenda’s release. He drove to the prison with Bagdikian and Student Non- Violent Coordinating Committee activists James Forman, Bob Moses and Chuck McDew, retrieved Brenda and took her to a SNCC safehouse. Bagdikian, who could not recall the professor’s name, said it “took great guts on this man’s part to help engineer this thing.” Of the broader story of these refugees and their impact, Bagdikian concludes: “At the very least, maybe fundamentally, it’s a compelling human story; these people who had gone through the perils of being anti-Nazi, or being the targets of Nazis, coming here to their country of salvation and imperiling themselves again.

  • Black Institutions and the Rise of Student Activism In
    SHELTER IN A TIME OF STORM: BLACK COLLEGES AND THE RISE OF STUDENT ACTIVISM IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jelani Manu-Gowon Favors, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Warren Van Tine, Adviser Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Co-Adviser Leslie Alexander William Nelson Jr. Approved by Adviser Graduate Program in History Co-Adviser Graduate Program in History Copyright by Jelani M. Favors ABSTRACT The most underdeveloped area of study concerning the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s is the effect of Black student activism during the explosive decade. The field is currently dominated by two-dimensional studies that define student activism under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), or the Black Studies campaigns on white college campuses in the latter half of the decade. Assessing student protests merely through this lens yields a narrow view of this generation of activists. One cause of our failure to identify these students is that scholars of the Civil Rights Movement have ignored the very environment in which the majority of student activists lived, learned, socialized, and ultimately revolted. Analyses of Black colleges invariably conclude that they were paternalistic and their curriculums were conformist, if not geared toward assimilation. Students from these all-Black institutions in the South succeeded in their public and private assault against the policies of Jim Crow and at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement they vaulted the struggle for human rights to unprecedented levels.

  • Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow Black Colleges Welcomed Jewish Refugee Scholars to America
    Exhibit: Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow Black colleges welcomed Jewish refugee scholars to America By Lina Broydo Created: January 17, 2013 Last Updated: January 20, 2013 Professor Ernst Borinski teaching in the Social Science Lab, Tougaloo College, in Mississippi, circa 1960. Borinski was part of the Tougaloo community for 36 years. (Courtesy of Mississippi Department of Archives and History) February is African-American History Month, and this year its annual celebration coincides with a very special exhibit: Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee Scholars at Black Colleges at the National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) in Philadelphia. Inspired by Gabrielle Simon Edgcomb’s landmark book “From Swastika to Jim Crow: Refugee Scholars at Black Colleges” and the subsequent PBS documentary by Joel Sucher and Steven Fischler, the exhibit opened on Jan. 15 and continues through June 2. It unveils the shared history of collaboration between America’s Jewish and African-American communities with regard to civil rights and advocacy on behalf of minority groups. The exhibit tells the story of Jewish academics from Germany and Austria who were dismissed from their teaching positions in the 1930s. Only months after Hitler seized power in 1933, Jewish intellectuals who had held prestigious positions in Germany’s renowned universities (where more than 12 percent of faculty members were Jewish) were targeted for expulsion. Those who dared to oppose the edicts were met with brutal suppression. Receipts for fines, Birmingham, Ala., 1942. (Collection of Drs. Lore and Donald Rasmussen) Often leaving with little more than the clothes on their backs, many of these scholars fled to America, hoping to continue their academic careers.

    Tougaloo College Dr. Ernst Borinski Endowed Chair TougalooProposal College - Borinski Endowed Chair Proposal Draft. |1 Photos courtesy of the Tougaloo College Archives, Civil Rights Collection at the Mississippi Department of Archives and HIstory (MDAH), Clarence Hunter, Curator 2 | Tougaloo College - Borinski Endowed Chair Proposal Draft. Executive Summary: Ernst Borinski Endowed Chair Proposal Tougaloo College Ernst Borinski (1901-1983) was professor of sociology at Tougaloo College in Mississippi from 1947 until his death in 1983. He made an indelible impact on students, colleagues, black and white Mississippians, members of the Jewish community locally and nationally, sociologists throughout the South, and others across America. Tougaloo has undertaken to establish an endowed chair, “the Ernst Borinski Chair of Social Sciences,” to keep alive the memory of his remarkable life and to further the goals for which he worked. After escaping the Holocaust and serving in the U.S. Army, Borinski earned a degree in education in 1946 from the University of Chicago. In 1947 he came to Tougaloo, where he played a pivotal role in reshaping a fledgling sociology program. He earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1954. As a German Jewish émigré, Borinski understood that freedom is not just a matter of laws but also a state of mind. His discussions on sociological issues forced students to debate ideas. His mission was to develop students capable of thinking critically about the world in which they lived. Borinski lived simply in faculty housing at Tougaloo. From Tougaloo, he launched a stream of graduates who have spread across America, earning doctorates and master’s degrees from prestigious graduate programs.

    https://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection RG-50.479.0005 Interview conducted May 8, 1987, by Gabrielle Simon Edgcomb for the German Historical Institute SUMMARY: Frances Coker was an adult student at segregated Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, when she met Jewish refuge Ernst Borinski, head of the social sciences and sociology departments at nearby all-black Tougaloo College, “somewhere around 1960.” She recounts her introduction to Borinski by one of her history professors, Jim Ferguson. Coker describes the ways in which Borinski worked to bridge the black and white communities of Jackson, notably through his parties and through Wednesday night forums bringing speakers from across the country to Tougaloo. “This was the only place in town that blacks and whites got together,” Coker said, and the gatherings were monitored by the state Sovereignty Commission, “which operated as sort of a secret police system.” Borinski, who had been denounced by the Mississippi legislature in 1957 as a “white radical professor,” in Coker’s words, “was well known in a notorious way,” a key source for journalists of the era, and a central figure for white moderates in the state. “He always made sociology relevant to what was going on. He presented theoretical things as well as anybody but he always had them revolving around some central issue of social change.” His impact was far-reaching through his students: “They went to Berkeley, they went to Harvard, they went to Chicago, they went everywhere. They ended up doing wonderful things. And it was absolutely amazing to us in Mississippi how he with his terrific German-Polish accent could be understood by the black students from rural Mississippi, and how they learned and overcame their own English deficiencies as well as coped with his particular language style.

I was finishing school as an adult student; I had two children; I had returned to school. The times in Mississippi were becoming very critical in terms of the integration, segregation issue. And while I was in school — I was at Millsaps College [in Jackson, Miss.], majoring in history — and one of my major professors, Jim Ferguson and his wife, Frances, became very close friends of ours. We met about once a week, and Fran and Jimmy had known Ernst for years. He’d come here in 1947; they must have known him since about the time he came. During latter 1950s Millsaps and Tougaloo [about a 15-minute drive away] had a very close relationship, by that I mean certain professors like Ernst Borinski and Jim Ferguson were friends and there was an exchange even that went on between classes and between professors. Ernst was teaching sociology; Jim was teaching history, so he was the person I got to know. However, there were other professors at Millsaps who also were close friends with Ernst, such as George Maddox who was teaching sociology. I knew of Ernst because he came to Millsaps and taught some German classes; some students went to Tougaloo and took German classes.
